4.4.1 Cycle + Soak
(Advanced Station Settings)
The LXME2 controller Cycle+Soak feature allows water to be applied to stations intermittently.
This can apply to any station and is useful for locations such as hillsides which can be difficult to
irrigate effectively.
Cycle+Soak consists of two settings:
Cycle time:
How long a station will run before soaking.
Soak time:
How long irrigation is paused before applying another cycle.
For example, a station can be set up to receive 15 minutes of irrigation in three 5 minute cycles, with
two 10 minutes periods of soak time in between waterings.
•
Cycle+Soak™ settings apply to stations no matter which programs they may be used in.
